Mashambani bus terminus in Nakuru town will get a facelift at a cost of Sh13 million, Governor Kinuthia Mbugua has said.
On Tuesday, Mbugua said the contract for the project has already been awarded, and will be facilitated in partnership with the Kenya Roads Board.
"Mashambani stage is one of the important termini in Nakuru town. Tarmacking will commence in the course of this month. We want to give our people a conducive working environment," said the county boss.
He spoke during a demonstration of quick and effective way of sealing potholes by Avery East Africa Limited on Mburu Gichua Road and Kenyatta Avenue.
He added that his government is working to deliver on its promise of solving issues that hinder development in the county, saying working with partners such as Avery East Africa is one way of realising this.
‘We must at all times maintain our roads. I commend Avery East Africa for accepting to partner with us so that we can adopt this patching technology. The main challenge of urban roads is potholes. When left unattended, potholes turn into a bigger problem," insisted Mbugua.
He was accompanied by Biashara Ward MCA Steve Kuria, CEC for Roads Eng Maina Kairu, Roads director Eng James Ochieng among other county officials.
